Eluveria

Eluveria is a small elven refuge where wood elves mainly live but also several other elven races. It is a tribal society where they survive off the Ashen Forest and all of the beasts within it.

History
After Sicarus' Crusade in 1 AS, elves were next to nothing. Nearly extinct and barely alive, something reached out to them. Nobody is sure of what it is or as, but during this time and for a few hundred years after the elves migrated to what they called the Promised Home. It is at Eluveria where most came to, one by one they trickled in seeking a home that was once ripped away from them. And it is here that they settled, and Eluveria was founded in the trees of Ashen Woods.

For hundreds of years they remained unnoticed and it wasnt until 852 AS when they stepped out of the forests shade and befriended the lords of Kormyr and made an alliance so they may protect on another. They presented themselves as tribal and feral people so they would not think that the elves have begun to rise again.

Government
Eluveria has no formal leadership and no formal laws, but nevertheless the inhabitants are able to live in harmony with each other and with the land.

The local Herald office is known as Moonsilver. Elanil Elassidil holds this position currently, she is the public face of the elves here. The heraldic symbol of the elves that populate Eluveria is a black oval with the long axis oriented from lower left to upper right, a silver crescent moon drifting downward, trailing silver stars from each of its points.

Trade
Eluveria is home to a number of fine bowyers and fletchers, as well as wood carvers. It also produces herbs, medicinal plants, exotic fruit, and tapestries. It imports swords, armor, parchment, wine, and seafood.

It is not on a caravan route and there are no trading houses. Supplies are brought to the town and carried away by trading parties. When the rare caravan did stop in town, it is considered a festival and the community came together to buy directly from the merchant.
